When Martians arrive on earth, many idealistic earth people, first and foremost the President of the United States, believe a new era of peace and prosperity has dawned, one of many follies of which the perfidious Martians take advantage as they proceed to devastate much of what is great in human civilization until they are undone by a plucky old lady and the grandson she has trouble recognizing.
Tim Burton's film is a paradigm of the adjective star-studded: Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Michael J. Fox, Sarah Jessica Parker, Pierce Brosnan, Danny DeVito, Rod Steiger, Sylvia Sidney, Martin Short, Tom Jones, Jim Brown, Pam Grier, and future stars Jack Black and Natalie Portman.along with babes Christina Applegate and Lisa Marie.
Not a very good film, but filled with memorably disturbing moments.
